The Hawaiian Race Disappearing

Hawaians would have been socially
better off, il is asserted had no Euro
poan been perm tied 10 land upon the
shores of the kingdom. As matters now
stand. the race is fast disappearing,
owing to the in PRODUCTION of certain
forms of Voc heretofore unknown
among the natives there. while that
hateful disease introduced by foreign
ers into these islands indelibly marks
the features Of both Kanakas and Wa
hines alike. fulfilling the text Of the
SER plural assert on that the sins Of the
father will be visited upon the children,
etc.
Nevertheless Hawaii in nearly every
respect Justly deserves the attention il
has been receiving for years at the
bands of citizens of the United States.
The natives are to be encouraged in their
effort TO compete with their VIII te breth-
rem. There are many kanakas who
like thrift and who do not possess the
requisite amount of stamina which j.
needed to insure success in life. yet
such as these NAV be instructed 10 such
a degree as to render them capable Of
at least providing for themselves.
In the American navy are many ma
tive Hawaiians. who. in the experience
of the writer, have also proved to he
good-humored, yielding in temper. and,
as a rule. generous to a fault. Being
in the main active and intel gent be.
ngs. they make excellent sailors. In
like manner the investing in Hawaiian
property and the employment of native
help at fair wages m ght result benefi-
callv to not only the capitalists. but
would prove of great advantage to the
Hawaiians as a people. Cor. Boston

Concerning Friendship.

IL seem to have talent for losing
friends. The remark made AN inn
preston on me. 1t seemed to mean so
much more than Il have a talent for
max ne enemies"
No one can make an enemy without
a pang of regret. There is that in every
mans soul that causes him to DIES re
the good Will of every other human
being.
But there are meaSureleSS depths of
sadness in the knowledge that one eas!-

Friendship is a curious thing-curi-
Gus in its foundation and its fabric
Two people are drawn together by as
ISOLATION. by chance. or by ailinit.
Each. knowing that he il not truly and
unseltishly faithful to the other, find,
pleasure in the hope that the other is
true to him. When he finds he is not
he upbraids HIM for being what he
knows h mself TO be. Friendsh y, more
than any other emotion, holds itself liza
BILE to be modified by every influence
The thing that more than all other
things should hold Itself away from the
profane touch is most easily accessible
to that touch.
There is that in the very essence of
friendship that makes this true. An
affection detics its object. Because it
is that object it must do no wrong. The
first mtimation OF weakness undcrmines
its position. Friendships sometime,
last that are based only ON similarity
of tastes or pursuits. The instant that
sent ment enters into the alliance there
is readjustment. A sens tive balance
is made that the slightest accident will
dstrub.

Every one has made some one else feel

1t is easy to make new friends
Every man and woman is constantly
hoping to find the ideal friendship. 1t

willing and eager to experiment In
